Avast! antivirus is picking up the exe as idp.generic on launch

[Sleepypanda]

So I tried playing two days ago. My antivirus suddenly picked it up, saying there's an idp.generic. I sent it to them for analysis saying it's probably a false positive since I had this game since the very first early access days when we were all sitting in endless queues and there's never been a problem.
Tried validating files today. Avast! Picked it up again as soon as I tried to launch it.

Anyone else has\had trouble with their antivirus picking up the exe? Specifically the one in .\Engine\Binaries\Win64\? Can I safely conclude this is a false positive?

ya is a false positive. you have to add it to the exceptions list

Yes a few people did, AVG for me.

Game wouldnt update and would crash on launch,

I added the wayfinder.exe to the exception list and no issues anymore.

Thanks for the confirmation.

The real question is why some people are using Avast in 2024?
